5 Easy Self-Care Ideas to Try While Staying Home this Spring
Many thanks to BabbleBoxx for sponsoring this post!
It's time to make the most out of spring and take care of YOU! The following self-care tips have helped me feel better and look better, from the inside and out this season. Because now more than ever, it’s important to have a peace of mind, find ways to relax, and have fun - especially if you’ve been cooped up in the house all day! Here are my 5 easy self-care ideas and products to try while staying home.
1. Get ready every day
Even though I don't have a lot of places to be nowadays, I still like to get dolled up. All dressed up and nowhere to go! Taking care of myself allows me to take care of others. Putting mascara on or trying a new hair style can instantly improve my mood. Nothing can turn my day around like a new hair-do and makeup.
I've been using Erin's Faces Organic Matcha Mascara, and I absolutely love it! It lengthens and voluminizes my lashes, and it is housed in recyclable glass. How cool is that? It even has Beta Carotene, which helps with hair growth and plant-based fibers that make my lashes appear longer. I've never used Matcha beauty products before, but I will undoubtedly start now! Multiple studies show that it can strengthen hair. Needless to say, I'm so happy Erin's Faces partnered with Encha Organic Matcha, the gold standard for Matcha!
I often get dry lips in warm weather, so I love a good lip balm! My new go-to is Fair Trade Tinted Lip Balm in Blushed, also from Erin's Faces. It gives me a sheer wash of color while keeping my lips hydrated and happy. It has organic castor seed oil and organic beeswax that nourishes my lips, plus it smells and tastes incredible. It has organic peppermint oil and organic vanilla. Did I mention they only use mineral pigments instead of dyes? Cool, right?! Use code SPRINGTIME10 for 10% off now until May 31.
2. Practice self-care in your outdoor patio
If you have an outdoor space to call your own, then now would be a great time to enjoy it and use it for self-care activities. I've been hanging out in my backyard a lot and catching up on some reading while enjoying a refreshing beverage in my new beautiful Swig Life Cups. Thanks to its triple insulation technology (double-walled, vacuum-sealed, and copper-plated), my drinks stay cool for up to 12 hours in the Swig Life Can Cooler and cold up to 9 hours and hot up to 3 hours in the Swig Life Wine Cup.

I've also been unwinding outdoors with some Infinite CBD edibles: asteroid and sour asteroid treats. Thanks to the versatility of cannabidiol, these CBD gummies are the perfect pick-me-up to get you through the day. I also like to keep a Nano CBD Hand Sanitizer Spray with me whenever I’m out, to eliminate as many germs as possible before heading back inside. It's essential to help stop the spread of illness, so I utilize this spray between day-to-day activities. Order now to get 20% off.
3. Make online shopping a healthy self-care practice
Shopping sprees do wonders for my mood! For me, online shopping is like a mini-mental vacation. Scrolling through hundreds of dresses or shoes is quite therapeutic. But staring at my screen all day can strain my eyes! Thanks to Zenni’s blue light glass, I can browse my favorite online stores without harming my eyes, even after working online for 8 hours!
Almost any pair of Zenni's eyewear can be made with BlokzTM blue blocker lenses. This type of lens is designed to protect eyes from harmful blue light emitted from any digital device (yes, even phones!) that can cause tired, irritated, and blurry vision. They're so adorable! The best part? Zenni offers countless styles!
4. Treat yourself with new spring shoes
Speaking of cute stuff, I'm also very excited to be rocking my favorite spring essentials – REEF Cushion Sol Sandals and REEF Escape Mule TXs. They are both comfy and perfect for this season. The REEF Escape Mule TX is lined with a cushioned footbed and made with anatomical arch support. The Mule's espadrille details add an effortlessly chic touch to any outfit!
REEF's Cushion Sol Sandals are also quite amazing and versatile. They go with any look, and they are seriously the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. These sandals are made with vegan leather straps and a high-rebound footbed that bounces with every step. Both have been my go-tos when I'm lounging around my house and backyard . Visit REEF.com to view their variety of spring must-haves.
To enhance my look, I painted my toenails with OPI Nail Lacquer to keep my pedicure fresh this spring! It has been a long time since I’ve had a pedicure, so I’ve been taking care of my nails more often. OPI is known for having a slightly thicker nail polish formula, which makes them more chip resistant. The color makes my summer shoes look even better, making it perfect for flip-flop weather!
5. Practice good skincare
If you've been following my blog, you know I've recently grown an obsession over proper skincare. To improve my routine, I've been focusing on a little beauty self-care! At-home facials are just the best. But to keep my spring skin radiant and hydrated, I've been applying LiftActiv Peptide-C Anti-Aging Ampoule Serum from Vichy. My skin definitely feels firmer and more hydrated since I started using it. It’s formulated with only 10 ingredients including, 10% Pure Vitamin C (an antioxidant known to help brighten skin), Natural Origin Hyaluronic Acid (to hydrate and plump the skin), and Plant-based Phyto Peptides (to fight signs of collagen loss). I’ve always been a fan of Vichy’s skincare products, so I’m excited to be adding the Ampoule Serum to my skin care routine!
Vichy is a doctor-developed skincare brand known for being the #1 anti-aging brand in European pharmacies. Their products are formulated with Mineralizing Water from the French volcanoes. Isn’t that amazing?! Vichy’s products are also equipped with rich minerals that fortify and protect the skin against daily aggressors like pollution, stress and fatigue.
